The Cuisines men" of Lafayette have
memorialized the Legislature for the retention
upon the statute book Of the present telephone
law. These must be queer lot Of "busirkss
mer." The telephone law is regarded nowhere
and by nobody; it is absolutely dead letter
It's only result was to kill the telephone bust
ness and to seriously hamper and Interfere
with business wherever it could not be evaded
under some such plan as that in operation in
Indianapolis, and in Lafayette, as well, we
believe Just why the ''business men" Of
Lafayette should want such a law re-
tanned is beyond our comprehension. 1t
does no possible good, but does work
harm in every way. The business
men of indianapolis have had enough of the
Law, and of. all such laws. 1t is a monu-
nent to the stupidity, if not the cupidity, Of
its author and of the Legislature that passed
it, and should be wiped off the books as soon as
possible. There can be no objection to the bill
pending in the House taxing telephones one
dollar each, if the measure can be made to
reach the real monopoly, the Bell Telephone
Company; but for the sake of business, let us
have no more of the telephone law, with the
endless hardships it has worked to every busi-
ness interest of the city and State

POLITICAL NOTES.

Hon. John Il. Harris was in Staunton
Wednesday, returning from bis canvass in
Southwestern Virginia. He says the i'm
prisonment CT the Virginia State officers
by Judge Bond, has produced the deepest
feeling among the people IN that section.
The Richmond correspondent Of the n.
Y. Herald" telegraphs from that city
that by the Imprisonment CT the Virginia
State officers, Judge Bond has ''un Wittlng-
" given the Democratic party clear
start of ten thousand votes" and ''has
given the campaign which was tagging
and tardy, an unexpected impetus"
The Republicans OF Shenandoah and
Page have nominated DR.. Frank King for
| the Senate and Samuel II. Bowman of
| Shenandoah and B. 7. Broyles of Page
| for the House.
The revolt against Malone in the black
counties is real and not affected. The
! anti Malone convention at Yorktown has
nominated Dr. D. M. Norton (colored) for
| the Senate and A. G. Lee for the House.
| This ticket is in opposition to the regular
Republican ticket nominated at Hamp-
| ton.
| John r. Moss of Buckingham. a Repub-
| lican member of the last legislature, is out
renouncing his connection with that party

GINA has degenerated into mere personal
party, and is but a puppet in the hands OF
William Malone"

I Norfolk County Republican Committee,
has orwarded his resignation to Gen.
Malone, saying: MATTERS have come

NOW IS YOUR CHANCE.

The Laboring Man hasa chance at last to
put the stamp Of his disapproval upon the
practice of coupon rendering by his we'll.
TODD neighbors. The poor man pays his
capltation tax with 81 in hard earned
cash, or his property is levied on. The
we'll TODD coupon-tenderer whose taxes
are sufficient to use up coupon has had
heretofore to simply tender his coupon for
his whole tax, school tax included, with
not cent to the State. and go about his
Business unmolested. But now is the poor
cash payers chance. At last he has one
of the coupon teaderers where he want ed
him-up before him appealing for his vote
and now is the time to snow him under
Mr.. Benz. J. Craig the Republican nomi-
nee for the House Of Delegates is a cou-
pom tenderer. Snow him under. It is the
only chance you'll ever get at him or any
other coupon-tenderer, for he'll be the last
nominee Of that kind. so give it TO him
while you've got him. He is one Of those
taxpayers who have been paying so cents
IN the dollar, cash, to the creditor and
rendering coupons to the State. NoW's
your chance.

'By our fruits judge us Republicans. We
claim to be the friend of the laboring man
and we have gone ahead and nominated a
horny-handed son of toll. "-Ec- Collector Craig
IN the Nominating meeting.
Indeed you have; bnt when you had
something worth having you couldn't rec
olect the horny-handed. When you had
a 81 GOO Revenue Collectors place you gave
it to Lawyer. And when you had a
So 900 Postmaster s place you gave it to an
Editor. Oh, you are the friend of the
Laboring man! If the horny-handed son
of toll is foolish enough to run every time
you want linn. he will get horny-footed
as we'll as horny handed, keeping the
party together for the benefit of the Law
yers and the Editors.

It is true, now that Mr. Echols wants the
votes of farmers to elect him to the Legisla-
ture, he answers in the affirmative, but when
he was in the Legislature where his vote
counted, he not only voted but spoke against
the abolition of the 'sfree-pass system" That
is the difference between being member OF
the Legislature and a candidate for reelection.
1t is difference that the people will under
stand and appreciate - Valley Via9taaan.
You are right; that is just the sort OF
man Echols is. He believes that mem
Der OF The legislature is a representative OF
the views CT the people who vote for him and
not of bis own individual preferences In
matters of policy. If Echols ever differs
with the people Of Augusta on matters 80
grave that he cannot vote their views, then
he will resign. He is perfectly frank in his
dealings with the people of Augusta and
tells them beforehand whether he will do
what they ask. But Craig and Dunlap
DON'T They have answered none of the
questions propounded by press or people.
No man living knows what they are for,
or what they are not for, except that they
support the National Republican platform
Of three gears ago. There's pair of polit-
ical mummies for you; running on plat
form three years old, and il which Vlr-
ojnia affairs are not mentioned once!
What do the Republican managers take
the people of Augusta for anyhow?

''Bailey Dunlap and Ben Craig won't do
that" said Mr.. Yost, after telling the
meeting how Edward Echols had helped
to pass bill the people of Goodson want
ed. when quorum of the House was not
present. They wont? Well then th g
people of Augusta don't want any more
Bourbonism whether it comes from the
farm or the blacksmith shop. Bourbon
hair-splitting in Virginia is dead as a
door nail, and Augusta don't intend to
have afaygof 1t from people she casts her
vote for, whether in congress or in the
legislature. The man that waits, and
keeps the people waiting for "a quornm"
amt the kind of man we want at Rich
mond this time or any other time.

THE ANSW Err.

r We put to Messrs. Craig and Danlap.
last week the question, whether if elected
to tie legislature they would vote for Will
liam Malone for U. S. Senator? They re-
main silent, but our cotemporary, the
''Virginian" of yesterday, answered for
them thus:
GAS the Mass Convention which nominated
Messrs Craig and Dunlap, did not exact of
them any pledge, it is rather cool that the
organ of the Democratic party should. The
Republicans have sufficient confidence in
their nominees to trust them to do what is
right when the time comes.
Messrs. Craig and Dunlap were nonli-
mated, endorsed, eulogized. and voted for
in the Republican conve ntion, Oct. Sth,
by Ex-Auditor S. Brown Allen and Coun-
ty Chairman VIM. E. Craig-tWo Repub-
lie ans that with the exception of John S.
Wise, are more loyal to, and stand in closer
personal and confidential relations to Will
liam Malone, than any Republican in the
State. In fact, Craig and Danlap may be
said to be their nominees, for 1t is well un-
understood, if they had objected, the ticket
wouldn't have gotten through. Messrs.
Allen and Craig would in no event permit
the nomination of any man in Aug u5ta
county who is not willing to 60 into eau
Gus and to support Malone as the nominee
of that caucus. Their nominees have been
asked the question through the press, and
they decline to ansaoer They aoaU vote for
Malone and the people of Augusta aoilt not
vote to send them to the legislature. 10
lido what is right when the time comes,
with no specification of what is fright, y
means in the Republican party to vote for
Malone.

We learn from Mr.. Z. T. Smith of Mel
son, that he met with Mr.. VIM. a. Good
win, the Republican candidate for the
House of Delegates in that county. in
Staunton. Wednesday last, and invited
him to bring forward any Republican
speakers to the Democratic public speak
ings advertised for n elson and they should
have fair division of time. Mr.. Coed
win replied-with thanks-that his side
wanted no discussion or public speaking,
and preferred still hunt.' The Demo-
Gratis of Nelson should break up this sdill

Hon, Jacob Yost and Col. VIM. E Craig
who promised at the nominating meeting

Messrs. Echols and Crawford are superior to

AS men they are not q whit superior;
but as representatives OF The great county

the interests Of its people there, and to
the interests Of the State of Virginia, we
simply submit to the people Of Augusta
for their calm and thoughtful consldera-
ton the question, which, all political pref

If the Republicans expect to capture
any Democratic Knight of Labor by nom
mating Republican member of the order
they are mistaken. The democratic CO
Knight who is caught that way is there
already and there wasn't any need CT the
bait. A Democratic Knight OF Labor is
as much Democrat as any other man ,
and is none the less so for being Knight.
If he votes for Republican because he is
a Knight, it is only because he would have
voted for Republican anyhow, and be-
cause be has become in politics Repub-
lican himself. What reason Democratic
Knight of Labor can have for allying him
self with party whose policy in twenty
one years Of government created more
great millionaires and more psupers; more
giant corporations and more starved
mechanics than were produced in all the
rest of the century existence of the Re-
public is more than we can tell.

If you had an important law for your

The logic OF the Hon. Jacob Yost was
rather faulty when he announced in one
breath On Saturday that by the nominal
ton of farmer and a mechanic sthe
Republican party blazed the way for a
policy that meant death to class legisla-
tion," and ten minutes afterwards said
the people ought to support them by their
ballots ''because they owed it to those
classes that they should be elected" 1t is
rather hard to know what an orator really
means that talks that way.

Sc--
PUT ZEN IN LIMBO.
Our esteemed Republican cotemporary,
the 'sValiey Virginian,'' seems to have
gotten SO demoralized by the nomination
of two Republicans for Augusta who will
vote for Malone If they get the chance,
that he is trying to kick the underpinning
as well as the capsSo0e out of the Repub-
lican organization. Last Friday night, in
answer to q notice, conference OF Re-
publicans and Democrats of Staunton,
white and coIored, was held to purge the
polls. Hon. Edward Echols was present
with an old circular which was issued
three years ago for the State, and gave it
to the conference that they might see the
law on the subject. The well known Re-
publicans who aided in the purging OF
names were-Julius g. Scheffer, Vim. A.
Reed. Heber Ker, John A. Noon, Samuel
H. Cohn, and others. On the democratic
! side were present-W. H. II. Lynn, j. T.
J Long, Fl. st. Geo. Tucker, T.J. Crowder.
and Others. There were also present a
coored. Republican and coiored Dem o.
GRAFT. All the names stricken off were agreed
| upon by this conference and the list post
! ed as required by law. Here is what the
'sVirginian" of yesterday says of the pro-
ceedings:
The object is PLAINLY to disq1a5ity as naaaa9
Republican goters as possible. But in this the
| enemy should be thwarted every
precinct chairman of the Republican
party throughout the State should see what
names are posted, (such posting must be al
three places in the precinct, one place being
at the voting place.; and on registration day
should appear before the registrar and confess
the striking off of any name who is a lega
| voter.
| What is the matter with our cotempo
rary anyhow? Does it intend to repu
dia5e The party responsibility of such Re
publlcans as John A. Noon. VIM. A. Reed
Julius G. Scheffer and the other workers
Of the party? Are they, and men llkt
them who have built up the Republican
party hereabouts frorn the foundation stone
engaged in movement ITO disqualify a

Messrs. Craig and Dunlap would answer
